The interior of this house is a blank canvas, and you can make it to suit YOU. Would you build a walk-out deck from the Master Bedroom? Create a magnificent stone stairway to ascend the hill in front? Design a botanical wonderland of exotic plantings? Perhaps install geothermal heat? or solar tiles on the garage? Would you finish the attic to be your office? or a studio? or a playroom for the kids? Would you widen the driveway? pave it with stamped concrete? add a lay-by parking space along it? You'll decide how to make this house into the home that is exactly right for you.
